    Since you give no link to what you’re talking about, I’m gonna assume it’s this one and preemptively debunk it.

    Edit to add that it blows my mind how anyone could really believe that a Nazi salute would be anywhere near her demeanor, taking into account the genuine compassion she has shown her supporters, especially as a brown Latina herself. How come I, a foreigner, know more about her than you do? I mean, I did watch her broadcast live when that blew up, and have seen a couple of her short videos on YT shorts generally browsing, and listened to her arguments on the Senate floor as it’s been recommended to me. Her message is clear. You really need to go out of your way to conceive something like that, you know?

      No it’s not that one, which was an obvious crop job. Another guy found it in one of the other comments. Again, it’s not that I’m saying that AOC did the salute, just that what if Elon did the same exact thing? It’s a double standard because he would be treated differently for it because of all the other context. But my point is that it’s not unreasonable for there to be a double standard given the context of who did it.

        But there’s no possibility he did anything else than a Nazi salute. He’s so socially incompetent he forgot about the plausible deniability. Now his supporters are working overtime to cover it up. Like I said, it’s so weird that seeing a side-by-side comparison, it’s the same gesture in beat and pose. And I might add, as a grand, deliberate gesture for his audience of his gratitude.

        Also, please correct me if I’m wrong, but are you saying that it’s a double standard that’s only excusable of their respective personalities? I think you mean acceptance? I don’t quite get what you mean by double standard as a trend. If AOC did the exact same gesture with the same intent, she’d be roasted alive by the left and people would not be questioning what she did and she’d immediately clarify with a statement that Elon has yet to give. The only double standard I see is how people start pointing elsewhere when a Republican politician does it. If it were a Democrat not a single soul would be pointing at that Greene plant in the Senate. xd This is the weirdest shit about US politics, that egregious double standard that envelopes this entire post.

            Oh yeah, I know, i recognize a couple of them. I want to make it clear how absurd they are.
